    Love the lens. I feel like I’m shooting with my favorite 35mm film camera. I haven’t had a chance to compare it to the Zeiss lens but for the price, it is wonderful.

    The focal length of this camera is great. 50mm is excellent for street photography, and wide enough for some landscape. Perfect lens to get close to subjects too. Very impressed.

    Good image quality, not so great auto focus

    I was between this lens and the Sony FE 85 1.8. I bought this lens, the image quality is very good especially if you stop at down to F2.8. The problem is the lens seems to hunt with auto focus at least on my A7ii. The lens is also fairly noisy while autofocusing. I ended up returning this after two weeks and getting the 85mm 1.8 which I have been very happy with.

    I purchased this lens mainly for portrait shots but i use it for regular shots too. It’s wide aperture gives you the best crispness in the pictures.

    Good portrait lens. Will test it out more. Colors turns out great and the bokeh effect is really good cause of the low aperture. Not bad with the price either
